A member of the Basa family talks to Chief Justice Renato Corona as the feuding clan reconciles at the Senate session hall Friday. SENATE POOL

MANILA, Philippines – In a surprise move on Friday, the feuding family of the wife Chief Justice Renato Corona has reconciled right inside the session hall of the Senate trying the impeachment case of Corona.

It was Corona’s wife, Cristina, who first approached her niece, Ana Basa and sisters seated at the gallery of the session hall while the Senate acting as an impeachment court was on a break.

The Basas accepted and returned Mrs. Corona’s gesture. They engaged in small talk.

Just after a few minutes, Mrs. Corona got the Chief Justice who was seated on a wheelchair just steps away from them and brought him to the Basas.

For a few seconds, the Chief Justice and the Basas hugged each other.

They also posed for a picture as a remembrance of their reconciliation.

Coronas and Basas have openly fought over the ownership of the Basa Guidote Enterprise Inc owned by the family of Mrs. Corona.

The thief justice return all the money that was taken from his relatives with high interest. This is to prevent them testifying against him. He knows he did a lot of illegal act to get their property. This is the only thing he can do to silence them. What a twist?

Drama! Drama! Drama!

Scene 3

A brilliant strategic move of Cristina of approaching the Basa family clan, seeking for a reconciliation.

The decades long of dispute is caused by money, and today, most likely is resolved by money you.

Why it take so long? Because Corona knows he is in deep trouble water, one enemy less will add more chance to win.

If the Basa family bite the bait, they will be doomed forever. But what can they do in front of the national tv? That’s the brilliant drama of Corona.

Rex_Ranhilio

have we been taken for a ride by the basa-guidote-corona families?

opinyonlangpo

Its too early for the Basas to celebrate. Their past experience with the Coronas should have taught them that lesson.They should never trust the Coronas considering that Renato Corona is a certified liar since birth. He can declare his lie and make it look like truth. He will make it appear to give back but he will again take it in the future. The Basas should recover everything that the Coronas have taken from them then say goodbye forever. No hugs and no halik ni Judas.

At least they have reconciled amid the trial. Let bygones be bygones! But the question is, are the Basas still gonna pursue the case?

MrJoseRizal

Pera pera lang yan

w4d

Good for them…..they can keep their dirty laundry amongst themselves. To the Basas’ they know what they have for an in-law, so if a similar issue occurs, the country will not be interested to know. For Corona, you are still unfit, inside and out to be our Chief Justice.

One cannot be certain that what had happen was “RECONCILIATION”. Afterall, the entire senate room is covered by media… alangan namang e-snob cla ng mga Basa’s dba? We can, as of now, call this “civil” hi’s and hello’s!

pololoy

you could be right…

but, i do hope they will truly reconcile whichever the decision of the impeachment court goes..

The Coronas will do ‘anything’ at the moment to counter the negative reaction of the people when he walked out and showed disrespect of the Senate. The Basas need be careful, in their desire to really reconcile and get their fair share, they might not see themselves being manipulated and used by the Coronas. After all his chicanery and vitriol the previous day, it is impossible for the kind of person this CJ is to ‘see the light’ in less than 24 hours!

junolivo

What a day! All’s well that ends well for the two families. Headline bukas: Pnoy Apologizes Corona for the stupidity he has done.

Ang sabi ng Ombudsman ay $10 – 12 million total transactions of 500k and above transactions not balance, Corona is saying $2.4 million total balance both of which maybe is true. Corona has been saying no $$$ accounts, yan ang problema niya ngayon.

Magnanimity triumphed in the end. Forgiveness, reconciliation, kinship and family values all came together with the Second Coming of The Crown. The feeling of sweet surrender to truth, fairness and justice.

Another defeat for Mr Aquino’s hatred and pettiness.

damatannapo

reconciliation is complete when justice is accopmplished

EdgarEdgar

that’s for the family to decide. i wouldn’t dictate on their decision to love or to hate. not my decision and definitely not yours.

mr corona was exposed as unfit as a judicial judge. He’s not willing to be tried by a court without putting malice on the judges. How can he be a judge if doesn’t want to submit himself to trial? Pointing fingers is such a juvenile stunt. Attacking the deceased and those who can’t defend themselves? What a disgrace. Walking out on the senate trial? outrageous! He showed everyone how he acts if he is the one on trial, a person not fit to judge others, much less to lead the Judiciary. GMA, look what idiot you appointed us, you and your ilk are pestilence to our nation. You’re nothing like your father, you’re more like your mother, doktora matapobre! Truth!

http://twitter.com/akosijapney Al Japney J. Loredo

What do you mean that he’s not willing to be tried by the court? He’s being tried by it since it was filed, that is why the senate acted as the impeachment court. Isn’t his appearance before the senate is a manifestation of his willingness to be tried, and submitting himself before it? What are you talking about.

notmeitsthedog

Was he willing to submit to the court? Don’t make me laugh. I can feed you some information, unfortunately, I can’t make you smarter.

notmeitsthedog

READ my original post again: He’s not willing to be tried by a court without putting malice on the judges.

Check the logical reasoning of your post; He’s not willing to be tried by a court without putting malice on the judges.<– Not willing connotes as if he didn't go there and be tried. Without malice; how d'you know that he thought of that? I don't know where you get all your wits, bro. Read more, watch more.

Don’t gibber. I don’t know where you get your wits to say those. What information that you know that I don’t? Watch news, dude. Ask your parents what’s been on for a long time. Know what’s happening, and be in the know. I’m not saying am smarter, but it seems like. :)

Ok lang magkaayos sila, but why do they have to do it in public not to mention that it’s the impeachment hall itself?..they have the whole day yesterday to approach the Basa’s and even this morning..

niceguy60

After all that happens pati personal family affairs nila nabulatlat sa public I think this is the logical step. I see no problem with this.

I am just wondering, the Basas family are fuming mad last Tuesday and said they will pursue their father’s pursuit for justice.

Their reconciliation has a big impact in the public view. Did Cristina promise to return the BGEI proceeds plus the 10 million interest?
That would be easy for the Coronas knowing them having that much.

The Basa family showed their humanity and magnanimity. Kudos kudos kudos… that being said, the timing of the reconcillation initiated by the Coronas cast doubt as to their sincerity since it was done in public together with the submission of the unconditional waiver by the Cheap Justice. Makes one think thrice why the Cheap Justice should not be convicted. They wanted to project an image of penitence, mea culpa, sorry… but the damage has already been done. Sayang! That should have been done last Tuesday. Pero convict pa rin…

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3UAABFPUE5ZKBXOAGLWL6POGWU joel genese

With simple exchanges of Hi’s and Hello’s and you call it a reconciliation right away?

Don’t worry. They are brain washed by repeated media demonization of Corona. But the way things are going today it seems Corona may be vindicated after all. Look only a few takers in the 188 congressmen took tha challenge to open their accounts in public. I’m sure many of them have skeletons in their closets. And family feuds too. It’s just unfortunate the CJ is taking all the bashing now. Once this thing is over the public should demand the same to other lawmakers. But wait, now they know better how to better hide their wealth lest someone from any bank smuggle their records out anonymously.

dan4321

Yes Corona will be acquitted,and the Philippines remains a Corrupt Country.

filipinaskoh

Do the Basas and Coronas have amicable settlement?
Do the Basas suddenly became so soft because Cristina offered to return the BGEI 37.4 million plus 10 million interest?

Well, if that is NOT the case the Basas would look so cheap doing it in front of the camera, they could have done it OFF CAM- It would appear there is under the table settlement.

In the first place this family affair should have not been in the public. But I think because of the impeachment case they were forced by the circumstances. Family feud happens. Siblings fought. Who want it publicisized? I think none.

Wake_Me_up

I salute the BASAs for their good gestures!

After Corona publicly HUMILIATED their father’s reputation telling LIES after LIES against the DEAD they’ve showed to us that they are the BETTER PEOPLE than Coronas!

The Coronas need all the help they can muster even from their mortal enemies!

After the Tuesday’s drama the Coronas were left with only ONE OPTION and that is to BEG for COMPASSION….

Sorry, but I think the reconciliation is just a show put up by the Corona for public sympathy. Desperate move for pogi points from the “taumbayan”. Knowing Corona, today is a make or break day, and he just tried to play all of his cards.

I hail the Basas for reconciling but they should not trust the Coronas’ for its their nature to take advantage of other people.

Well, I guess this confirms that Jose Basa is indeed a ‘walang silbi’, walang trabaho, and a spoiled brat as CJ Corona has claimed last Tuesday.

2 days ago the Basa’s seems to be determined to continue their Father’s stance long ago to claim what they believe theirs. While Corona’s blah blahs condemning the Basa’s as lazy and bourgeoisie. And base on the story, it was the Corona’s who made the first move to reconcile with Basa’s…so it means that the Basa’s claims was true and everything they’ve told to the public were true as well…anyways…who will win against the Good and the Truth! only the Good and the Truth. So the Basa’s won and earned it…congrats to the Basa’s and to Corona’s acceptance that they are at fault.

The Basas are very forgiving and lenient people. They have been oppressed for so many decades and just few days back their father’s memories was insulted in public but still they are able to forgive the Coronas just to be able help his cause of justifying his ill gotten wealth. I understand that they are just after what was taken from them – give it back and still they tried to help the Coronas. Nice people. I just hope the reconciliation will last considering the nature of the Coronas. If ever the chief justice is acquitted and returned to his throne, I hope that he will be a changed man and not go for vendetta for those who attempted to crush him, the Basas included.

this is good news… a triumph for the filipino family… hope the repentance includes restitution so their reconciliation would last for life… God bless…

but i think corona should still be convicted…

Wala ba silang kadala-dala? Don’t they realize that the Coronas will do anything and everything to wiggle out of this predicament? Renato Corona, as expected, turned out an Oscar-winning perfromance today, appealing to the emotions of those who cared to listen. Everyone is on the show, led by Cristina who after tormenting her cousins for so many years suddenly saw the light and saw fit to reconcile with her relatives. How convenient, no?

And now, this aghast citizen of the Republic of the Philippines wishes to be excused so he can puke.

filipinaskoh

If The reconciliation was real, it should have been done OFF-CAM. Wala ng picture posing. You will also notice that Ana was the one who approached Corona. Too unusual, just two days before they are fuming mad, all of a sudden at a simple approach they immediately reconcile.

The Basas too forgiving or simply fool. Not so. If forgiving they should have reconciled a long time ago not after 30 years right in the impeachment trial, on the last day of Corona’s appearance. If Simply fool, not so also, they’ve been fighting the BGEI for 30 years.

Why is that so?
Because there was a negotiation done.
The BGEI shares proceeds will be returned plus the 10 million interest.

What a touching moment.
Families should unite and love together. They should have common feelings as they have the same blood.
Good gesture from Mrs.Corona.

As they say, let bygone be bygones. .
And lastly, families should not be used by politicians to malign each other.
Where is sister Nun? I hope she is fine. She has been used by this Impeachment.
Blood is thicker than water especially that water are politicians,,,,the pusali.
Family that stays together, prays together. Sister Basa will be happy.

With Reconciliation and Forgiveness comes a blessing and reward from God. I’m sure this is God’s work. Let the Coronas and the Basas be rewarded and blessed ! Acquittal for Corona.

sheldonbot

what’s the relation of Basa-Corona reconciliation to his acquital? in the first place, his squabble with the Basa’s is not included in the complaint. Theirs is another legal battle.

I’m glad they are settling their differences in an amicable manner. But the impeachment court is a whole different thing.

There can be no true reconciliation without justice.

people can be deceived but not God, forgiveness is one of the perfect characters of God, but repentance without genuine acceptance of fault is worthless in the eyes of God, remember He knows what’s hidden in the darkness and light dwells in Him

The reconciliation of the feuding Basa clan in the impeachment of CJ Corona is more a reflection of what they said were good manners taught them by their late father whose reputation was unfortunately besmirched by the Chief Justice in his previous testimony. Normally, it would be very difficult for someone so agrieved like the Basas to just forgive easily, but since that was their nature they took from their elder, forgiving came so easy and naturally . I hope this picture of reconciliation would be replicated many times and among our leaders, although without sacrificing the ends of truth and justice. Let CJ Corona`s act of hiding his properties and dollar accounts be dealt with properly so that the people may go relentlessly next after those who have been doing the same, be they the prosecution members, lawmakers, or even the President of the Philippines himself. One who hides nothing must and does not fear anything. We could have been spared of this impeachment spectacle if from the beginning, the Chief Justice has laid bare his properties and peso and dollar accounts. But he chose a different tack and that’s very unfortunate.

Reconciliation? For the Basa’s beware of that move, Wolf is always a Wolf they will never be a goat.

CORONA and his wife always be a greedy and they will never going to change that until the end of their life and that is their Aura.

If these husband & wife are real people with heart and soul why do they need to wait up to this moment. Do you think if they are not in these kind of situation they will going to offer the reconciliation? Because he got checkmate so what will be his next move?

Yes, I agrre fully well with you, if their parents were treated as dirt why the sudden change of treatment? Cristina on that occassion used her being an older relative to her and Midnight Appointed CJ corona’s full advantage, people and camera for public sympathy so the Basa children could not respond any other way but to respect the blood and age of their scheming elder cousin, the cousin who cannot show real repentance (only) pride to the children of her uncle she had wronged in life and death.

truly with respect to god.

Bringing a reporter taking a pictures while kissing the hand of Archbishop Arguelles of Lipa Batangas, is this kind of people
that you can trust?

I cannot comprehend, how this THIEF JUSTICE CORONA and his WIFE can do such a kind of things against their nieces & nephews?.

I remember when my mother still alive, I told her how many times, IF YOU WILL DIE I WANT TO WAIVE MY RIGHT TO YOUR PROPERTIES
for my nieces and nephews, and with God Bless I was able fulfill my words and enable to buy my own even little by little.

I really hate people who are always thinking of how to take advantage.
Thank you for your response.

kolambogan

No need to thank me for my
comments, I’m just trying to understand peoples motivation in doing what they do. Because I believe that to use to one’s advantage own victims he or she had wronged for more than 30 years, not to mention besmirching the persons of their parents without compassion, treated like criminals on some trumped up and manipulated charges is the pinnacle of devilish legal maneuvers. To think that he or she without compassion wanted compassion presently at all cost just to gain points against the public at large is really the act of people of low self- esteem, trying to look honorable. I know that accused individuals need to defend themselves, it is their right, but what the coronas had done was bereft of decency and righteousness, as if implying to all the whole world to see that by a single approach by Cristina to her cousins every un-Christian act of torment, the physical and mental torture they had inflicted on their relatives could be swept under the rug and forgotten. This must have to be known and digested by the Filipino people and no matter what the motivation, purpose and blunders of his accusers are, they are blessings in itself because they were at least unmasked of their true selves, especially renato corona who had the temerity to convey judgment to all Filipinos but who cannot render true justice to his own extended family, what travesty of justice he only and his associates can dispense?

I was disgusted this was done right on the heels of corona’s disparaging comments on their father who fought so hard only to be defeated by a man who abused his position and power. Will their father get justice in death?

“It was Corona’s wife, Cristina, who first approached her niece, Ana Basa and sisters seated at the gallery of the session hall while the Senate acting as an impeachment court was on a break.

The Basas accepted and returned Mrs. Corona’s gesture. They engaged in small talk.

Just after a few minutes, Mrs. Corona got the Chief Justice who was seated on a wheelchair just steps away from them and brought him to the Basas.” – obviously the writer did not witness the scene as it was unfolding on national tv and did not bother to research more on who actually made public their desire for reconciliation. The writer should have listened to the subsequent interview done by a tv channel to a friend of both parties who was instrumental in the reconciliation. Only proves that Belinda Cunanan, who was there, has indeed lost the respect of PDI.

Another slanted story by PDI to make the Corona’s look bad in public.

levis2012

the Corona’s looked bad in the public, IN FACT WORST in the public when Corona, will all ARROGANCE AND POMPOUSNESS WALKED OUT last Tuesday…. Damage control ang ginawa ni Cristina Corona, para makakuha ng good points sa publiko, after na MASIRA SILA NG SIRANG-SIRA dahil sa KAYABANGAN ng kanyang asawang si Corona!!! In short, PLASTIC at hindi TOTOO…

trying to get sympathy votes are you? but give it to the Basas, nilait-lait ang yumao nilang ama pero naging civil at educated pa rin sila sa pakikitungo. or they were just caught in an awkward situation kaya sumunod na lang sa agos.

Why is that so?Because there was a negotiation done.The BGEI shares proceeds will be returned plus the 10 million interest, mentioned by Corona being part of the 80 million peso deposit.

Wait for a few days and Cristina will be announcing that she will be returning the BGEI shares to them plus the 10 million interest as sign of humbleness and their honest intention in reconciliation and reunion as a family

Ben Tampadong

Let’s look at the good side of this scenario, it’s heartwarming to see a feuding family reconciling on a national tv , I bet there’s a lot of families in our country which has the same situation. Corona’s case, on the other hand is a different story.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA…THE THIEF JUSTICE REALLY IS NOW AN ACTION SUPERSTAR. HE CAN NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE FILIPINO PEOPLE THAT HE IS NOT THE THIEF AND GREEDY MAN THAT HE IS….HEY, MR. THIEF JUSTICE, TO REALLY SHOW THAT YOU ARE SORRY FOR THE DEEDS YOU’VE DONE, RETURN THE MONEY YOU STOLE FROM THE BASA’S….YOU ARE SUCH AN ACTOR…EVEN MRS. THIEF JUSTICE SHOULD GET AN AWARD FOR ALL HER PARTS IN THIS SARSUELA…HE-HE-HE-HE…NO, MRS.

plankton107

I don’t think the reaction of the Basas was staged at all. They were genuinely surprised and relieved when Cristina and her daughter approached them. One could argue that the timing of the reconciliation is a bit iffy but that could be blamed on the Coronas alone and not the Basas (if ever this is all for show).

kolambogan

Really, blood is thicker than water, but money probably made it edible.. I just hope that there won’t be a sequel to the BASA (BGEI) vs. Corona case., since some are still pending waiting for a decision. As for me, if their parents were mine I can forgive but I can never forget the people who shamed them alive and dead, people responsible for an unfair (cooked) conviction that led to being a fugitive, dispossesed of properties and eventual death.

Good news that a family stays together after-all problems is a Blessing-in-disguise. God knows very well of what is good for all the people. keep-up the Faith from God and this family will be showered with more peace & prosperity. mabuhay kayo!

If i hadn’t seen the poorly-acted drama shown by upcoming actor Renato Corona on Tuesday in the Senate hearing, I would have surely admired their action of reconciling with their relatives as sn sct of magnanimity and so christianlike. But because of the drama he has demonstrated to us, I now think that the act is another palabas. Enough of your drama, Cristina and Rene. Just face the music.

do you think this reunification can stop the conviction? I don’t think so

Notice that my entire statement was about the reconciliation. But since you asked, yes it would. ACQUIT CORONA, MORALES RESIGN!

ala_ehhhh

Why do you call people who uses their logic as yellow army / ribbon etc? It is a good and Christian spirit to see everyone in peace but it is tragic when evil use superficial gesture of peace. The motive is too obvious!!! Being a Christian is a very good thing, being used and fooled by Evil is another thing.

What did I tell ya? I was flamed last week when I made the comment about the Basa family’s selfish and self-serving actions recently. They are in it for their own benefit, not Juan Dela Cruz’s. Nakindatan lang sila e ok na ang lahat. Wow, the public is really being taken for a ride and once again, we’re all suckers for believing that anyone is doing anything for the country. After the smoke has cleared and the dust has settled, the rich will still have their riches and us poor will become even more poorer. That’s democracy folks!!!

We should be happy with the reconciliation of the Basa’s and the Corona’s. Whatever they want to do from here is none of our business. The Basa’s can forgive the chief justice on what he did to them for 30 years but if the chief justice used his position in the government to manipulate the outcome of the lawsuits…that is something else. On that, the accountability is to the people.

The Basas will look really bad if they didn’t return the gesture. They were forced by circumstance,
but a “class act” nonetheless.

joeldcndcn

well, if this true, then they should do it in a restaurant or their homes, and not in the senate trial, IF THESE FAMILIES HAVE SHAME, OK, THE SENATE TRIAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR FAMILY DRAMA AND THE PEOPLE ARE ONLY INTERESTED ABOUT THIEF CORONA’S IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, NOT THEIR “PERSONAL DRAMA” WHICH IS “SCRIPTED” AND VERY OBVIOUS, TSK, TSK, TSK!

Hahahaha…. the yellow ribbons are so much disgusted with the heart-warming drama. They did not expect reconciliation of the two estranged families. They dragged the Basa Family, look what they got? Thank you Prosecution Team. Hahahahaha

you think the masa will buy that? we don’t need the Basas to appear anyway.

rockinLeon

Another calculated move by the Coronas to soften their public image…it’s a little too late for that goody goody BS…guilty or acquitted, the majority of the people has spoken… I think it is now perceived that Corona is a dishonest, not a fully merited, manipulating, Chief Justice.

The only thing constructive or rather positive that will come out of this impeachment trial is that it will now serve as a template to start for a new design on how to fight corruption that has been ongoing for decades. I wish the Legislative to create or reform laws to enhance existing ones such as the provisions in the Foreign Currency…RA no. 6426.

They are trying to use the Basa’s to their advantage, what a family of users.

If that was really their intent, they should have humbly approached Sister Flor first to really make a sincere reconciliation.

What a farce.

Beguine

Well, this only goes to show that the Basas are a lot smarter
than both Renato and Cristina Corona.

They must have gotten what they wanted signed, sealed and soon
to be delivered over and above what they wanted through their
out-of-court settlement agreement and public display of
reconciliation.

Sister Flory must be smiling too. She can now die peacefully
with this sweet revenge.

There is more than one way of killing the cat and the Basas
have done just that. Why waste time with endless lawsuits?

How come nobody objected when the Basas, who were obviously being used by the prosecution team and egged on by the media ( Inquirer and ABS, included), were all over the place airing their differences? Now that they’ve reconciled, ( an Act of God, if I may add), and in public at that, the haters in this forum are angry, mad and critical of them. Funny guys!

I feel bad for the Basas for being used by both sides. They never asked to be dragged in to this mess. I hope they actually do find peace in their reconciliation with the Coronas and that everything that happened yesterday was not just for public sympathy for the CJ.

ala_ehhhh

I have my suspicion!!!

1. well, there goes the criminal suits of the basas against corona;
2. good they reconciled (i hope it’s genuine not because there was some monetary settlement; altho pay-off of what is really due to the basas may be the start of a genuine reconciliation);
3. now, let’s bury this issue and give all ourselves a big break.

It was a very clever move by Cristina… she’s really good on it…She’s the kind of a woman who can swallow anything to get what she wanted. Too evillllll…..

The scene showing Cristena Corona and the Basa sisters hugging each other was very touching. Something like what you see in a telenovela. Just hoping that it is not part of a grand act to get the sympathy of the Senate Judges and the viewers as well. Balcony scene, attending mass, delivering sympathetic speech to his supporters, the 3 hrs openning life story at the witness stand, the humble CJ after the walkout and lastly the Basa reconciliation. Hmmm. Just thinking.!!

That was a very cunning move by the Coronas! By reconciling with the Basas, there will be one less possible witness should there be another impeachment trial. The sad thing is, a lot of people easily get fooled by such hypocritical acting. The motives for the Coronas is too obvious, I don’t buy it!!

Wrong. Corona will be convicted. Corruption will continue. Money flow in another direction. What are they in power for.
